Let It Snow: the Joys of Cocaine

Blow, Yack, Ski Tickets, Blanca, Marching Powder, Booger Sugar....whatever you call it, it is a surefire ingredient for a fun night out or even staying home and dancing all night.

I love the drip in the back of my throat and the act of rubbing residue on my gums. Or doing a secret bump in the bathroom of a seedy bar.

This isn't the place to share your sad stories of addiction and despair. Save those for your twelve-step meetings! I just want to hear about the good times!

Did plenty of cocaine in the 90's then quit doing any type of blow for over a decade. Then I got into the whole "bath salts" craze for a bit. Of course, you never knew what you were getting from some online shops, but one company, WickedHerbals sold several brands of powders that were supposedly just straight up MDPV for the most part. They went under names like "Eight Ballz", "White Water Rapid", and my favorite - "Amped".

*Much* cleaner (and better imo) high than street coke that's cut to death with all kinds of crap. The comedown was nowhere near as bad, and it didn't make you as fiendish as cocaine would. It was also way cheaper. You could get a gram of that stuff for like $35.

To me, cocaine was always a little "accessory" to a fun night out. I little bump from the end of your car key every once in a while gave you a fun little "pick me up." Too many shots or cheap drinks as the night progressed? A bump always set you right. I remember it also made watching porn a whole new experience (in a good way). I haven't had a bump in decades but I understand the appeal. Luckily, it was never my vice. I had friends that could smash an 8 ball in a matter of hours.

R11 has never done coke;

R7 yes you should try it, but do it with someone you know who does it. NEVER buy coke from someone you don’t know because it most likely will be cut with something you don’t want in your body. There isn’t really a high with coke like there is with weed...it’s more of a feeling of euphoria that will last about 30 minutes without another bump. It will burn your nose the first time, and you’ll taste it when it goes down your throat, so I like to do it with an ice cold beer. It will cost about $80 for a good gram. But please...if you have an addictive personality, DONT DO IT because it’s easy to get hooked on. Do it with someone you like. It makes me very chatty...some people get quiet. You may have trouble getting to sleep the first couple hours.

Leafly.com does a good job of reviewing strains so you don't waste your money. I have a little Stiizy vape that when I am out and I go to the bathroom I hit that and it gives me a great pick me up. To each his own. Back in the day, we'd stay up all night and into the next day doing lines. It seems so gross to me but boy was I having fun then. Too old and fat now and I'd probably have a heart attack with the random stuff it's all cut with now. I'm fine being a late in life pothead.

Back in the early 80s I got into a little dealing via some cousins of mine from Miami. At one point all I did was go from Tampa to Miami to Jax ,partying like a rock star and slinging dope. I could walk into a club (I knew all the bartenders) and within 15 mins be sold out. Then it was on to partying . How many nights I stayed up all night drinking and doing lines I couldnt begin to count. I got laid a LOT .Its amazing how popular you were when you had some coke. Its a miracle how I didnt get arrested or killed or catch aids. So much money flowed through my hands it still astonishes me when I think about it. It was nothing for me to have $10-20,000 in my trunk. I had a hell of a good time,but then an incident occurred and that was it for me. I did coke on and along through the years after,but never that much at once and never very often . Good times,lots of great memories but thats youth and stupidity for you.

Oh god I loved cocaine. Didn’t do it THAT much, but indulged off and on in my 20s.

My most vivid memory - I was 22, new to NYC (early 90s) and dating a much older, wealthier guy ...he was like 42. One Saturday, we got drunk having dinner at El Teddy’s, then got even drunker at Splash before going to The Roxy. He had the John Blair VIP card and we were whisked right in. Before we could do anything else, this guy dragged me into a bathroom stall and pulled out a nice vile of blow. We started doing bumps and making out furiously for like a half hour. It really was hot and I thought I was SO SO big city glamorous at the time. Hahaha.

Even recounting that memory makes my mouth water and gives me slight butterflies in that anticipatory, gakk-y way.

Yay coke!

The very first time I bought cocaine for myself - I also did it by myself in my car outside the bar to try it out. I had no idea what amount a typical line was - what I bought didn't look like much. I later realized I did approximately the equivalent of about 5 solid sized lines in one snort. I walked back into the bar with insurmountable confidence and downed like 5 more stiff drinks about 45 min before last call. I turned white as a ghost and started sweating profusely shortly afterwards. Thankfully a couple of my friends took my keys off me, and drove me around in their back seat with the window down to get some fresh air and snap out of it.

I have never known anyone to snort blow and NOT drink alcohol R58. You must be thinking Molly - one that I have always been told to not use in tandem with alcohol for danger of possible dehydration (and perhaps other issues). Coke was a blast at parties, but no matter how much you had and no matter how good the quality was - there was never enough of it LOL. But as the night turns into the next day and you hit that dreaded point 12 to 16 hours in - where you no longer feel high but somewhat miserable and doing more doesn't seem to help (I suppose that you have already run through all of those receptors) - well it is certainly a weekend thing if you have a career. A few of those weekends combined with one mind-blowing, coked-out fuck session with a hot guy that lasted 2 days but led to what felt like I was having a mild heart attack (I was maybe 26 yoa) - I started to realize that the drug wasn't child's play after all. I dabbled here and there in my later 20's and early 30's. Quality of the product varies a LOT. Good Molly is far more euphoric IMO - but you don't really want to be around anyone not using (with coke you don't seem to care) and I always feel too out of sorts to want to be in a public place at all when tripping. And yes, both are prone to annoying hangovers. It takes a good day or more to feel 100% again. I no longer use either - while I wouldn't rule them out completely, they are no longer an aspect of my nightlife generally speaking.

R7 It's my favorite drug I've ever tried. It really is a fantastic high. But I recommend having pot to help with the come down. It can be very depressing, so taking a few tokes afterward helps tremendously. In fact, I might go so far as to say it's obligatory. Otherwise, you will experience the come down that R11 mentioned.

Just remember: a little dab wil do you. It's absolutely possible to try it, or even use it occasionally, and not get addicted (which is most folks). However, there's a reason many people DO get addicted and overdose. It really is that fucking fantastic.

Cocaine should not be mixed with alcohol. The two substances combine into cocaethylene which is significantly harder on the heart than either one alone. Naturally however in the real world people often don't follow this prescription.

Tried Coke on occasion, can be fun for a quick rush/high and a nice burst of sociability. Not a great sex drug on the other hand IMO.

One thing governments could do to end a lot of social misery, gang violence, criminality and poverty at a stroke is to decriminalise it.

The sentences given out for possession of crack cocaine in the US used to be 100 times harsher than those given out for powder cocaine, despite the fact that they were two forms of the same drug with the same effect.

This may have had something to do with the fact that the former was generally used by homeless black people and the latter by white yuppies.

R64 Is absolutely correct. Cocaine and alcohol may mix well socially, but it can be an extremely dangerous combination. I've been quite fond of the sauce in my time, but because coke was so expensive, and always a "special treat" (Happy Birthday/Happy New Year, etc.), I wanted to savor that experience, so I never drank while doing coke.

Plus, getting drunk and not monitoring one's dosage/rate of use is just fucking stupid, anyway.

Such memories of doing coke in the toilets with some random hot guy, whilst people were queuing outside to do the same. Fast forward 10 years and my recreational use had turned into addiction. A great job offer in another division of the company I was working for gave me promises of a fresh start... in Hong Kong!!! I had no idea. Coke is on tap there, everywhere. And the quality is high.

Cocaine is for shy people (Mostly women but gay guys too) with low self-esteem who believe the drug makes them gregarious and loveable, when in reality it just makes them agitated and overly talkative.

The ritualistic aspects of cocaine exacerbate this...you and a friend or two have a “secret,” you go to the bathroom/bedroom and cut it up and return as the life of the party. But then all of a sudden it’s 4:00 AM (and what good ever happens then?) and you feel like utter shit.

r33 A reminder to anyone reading this that there are three major categories of marijuana - sativa, indica, and hybrid - and the effects of each on your individual body and brain can not be explained up front. You just have to try them and see what you like. Some people will tell you "this one gives you a body high, this one makes you feel lethargic...." and it may be true for them but not for you. If you like weed, get a product from each category, take them individually while not under the influence of anything else on different days, and see what works for you.

The bathroom at Tunnel was a drug den basically. I hate that Gatien got busted and everything that Giuliani wrought to kill NYC nightlife. The early 90s NYC club scene was so much fun and so free. When Giuliani started shutting things down, I thought it was temporary. Never thought it would be the last gasp of true free and wild NYC nightlife.

I bow down in all humility before you coke-heads. It really sounds like you all enjoyed the shit out of cocaine. I’ve only tried it once and it really didn’t do much for me. Keep the stories coming.

This is why it turned my stomach when Giuliani was lionized after 9/11. I remember what he did to the city. We see his true self again today.

Why are people so gullible? Why can't they see through the orange criminal?

On a J1 working visa in the 80s in New York I was tipped a white powder in a fold piece of paper at my restaurant. I had no idea what it was and one of my coworkers gleefully said ‘oh man you’re so lucky that’s cocaine.’

I made a beeline to the sink and flushed it down the sink hole. Talk about screaming wailing and gnashing of teeth that ensued. I’m lucky I wasn’t beaten to death.

Babe, it’s not just an elder drug. It’s very popular with young men and women in cities.

Most elders have quit or greatly reduced their use as far as I’ve seen.

I’ve only done drugs to enhance sex. I’ve tried coke a few times and it sadly does very little for me—maybe wake me up a bit. Pot only makes me hungry.

But meth, G, and Molly were great.

It’s been a decade since I’ve done anything but the sex on those three was mind-blowing. But we all eventually grow out of it

As a matter of fact, I lived in Hollywood for 10 years. So yes, I know all about drug use there. No different than any other big city.

I find it funny that the old gays are arging that it's still supper popular. It must the the new 50 looks 20 things.

One night at a bar called Rene's in Tampa ,circa 1981. The manager invited me and a few friends to stay after the bar closed for a private party . We decide to run and grab a bite as we had been partying all night and all 4 of us were fucked up .We come back,get let in,and on the bar was a HUGE pile of coke and a stack of straws . And of course free flowing booze. Long story short ,we all (about 12 of us) end naked in the pool on the patio having one hell of an orgy as the sun was rising . I didnt crash until late that night,and I slept for 2 days. I was young ,and it took me a week to feel better. I called it the worlds longest hangover. As an old fart now I shudder in horror to think what was floating in that pool !

R95 It's known as a "c-fold" to some people. I used to tip bartenders them under my napkin as a thank you for helping me score some shit. Similarly, I would hide my c-folds of coke securely behind my "Camel Cash" in my box of Camels when they hooked me up with some. Easy to toss out if you think you're gonna get busted.

by Anonymousreply 115September 26, 2020 4:01 AM

Transcon, JFK-LAX, early 1980’s on Pan Am, of which the children have never heard but a class act, airline-wise until they went under around 1990. I’m in F because the BF of the guy I’m seeing in Stuy Town works in HQ at the Pan Am building and gets everyone upped, Clipper Club access, the works.

The other guy in the two set is sniffling, fidgety and a bit disheveled but not very chatty. I just said “hi” when I sat down and started reading. An hour or so into the flight, drinks in front of us, he pulls out a giant handkerchief and a Vick’s inhaler and alternately honks and drains and sniffs and snorts. I shudder writing this today: the things we did pre-pandemic.

Trying to make conversation as I slid my drink away from his on the tray between the seats, I managed to ask, in all innocence, “Got a cold?” In response, he offered me the inhaler and said, “Yeah. Wanna catchit?”

I thanked him but declined. I loved coke then but didn’t have his habit. Had I already been fucked up I’d have said yes but it was 10 in the morning at 35,000 feet, not two in the morning in somebody’s bathroom. He had something to do with financing films, he said. I can only assume a lot of the financing got deposited in his sinuses.

How bad is coke now compared to the past?

by Anonymousreply 119September 26, 2020 5:29 AM

In my past experience, the best coke was usually in border states (Florida, Texas and California seemed to have the very best if you had a good source). The further north and inland it traveled, the more cut it became. Good dealers from the Miami area usually had amazing stuff (one of my best friend's older brother was a great customer with a big habit). Dallas had some great blow. LA was a given - but the purity was everything. Epic coke was unreal. Again, it was easy to blow way too much money (pun intended) and you always needed a day to recover.

You can take the white trash out of the middle class neighborhood, but you can't take the white trash out of the boy. What an idiot, someone calls him out for making a very pretentious comment about how he "lives in the hills" and then in an attempt to sell the fact that is not base trash dose the base trash thing and brags again about the price of his house (which is nothing in that neighborhood) his job in the "i entertainment" and how he is so much better than someone living near the Jewish neighborhood. LOL You so exposed yourself trash.

I had my first line at a Rolling Stones concert when I was 18. They guy in front of me just offered it. A minute later I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I want more." That was the start of a 15 year love affair with coke. I was good friends with my dealer so he sold it to me for next to nothing because all his rich buyers were paying jacked up prices.

I have a small divot inside my nose from coke. You can't really see it unless you are looking right at it. In some ways I consider it a badge of honor. Mostly because I'm still alive.
